Family Trip!

The house was awesome! So beautiful and plenty of space for a big group. We were a little worried because of the recent reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised when we got there! The house was clean, and the toilet paper was even stamped! We did have to wipe the counters and sweep a little in the kitchen but other than that it was very clean. The host was very responsive, I was never waiting for an answer from them during our stay. It's also a short drive to town and the mountains for snow play. We'd absolutely stay here again!! Don't let the bad reviews deter you!

Very Disappointed

While this house is in a great neighborhood, it is in DESPERATE need of maintenance and deep cleaning. The house is very dirty and unkempt. There were mouse droppings on the counters. In the kitchen, there are no dish towels,1 trash bag, 1 dishwasher cube and 1/2 roll of paper towels. Never stayed at a VRBO home where these items weren't provided. Don't plan on having a big family dinner unless you bring your own glasses. There were 2 wine glasses, 2 rocks glasses, 1 martini glass and 2 water glasses. Out of 5 bedrooms, 3 of the rooms bedding had not been changed. First night we were washing sheets etc. While the washer worked ok, the dryer vent hose was not connected and inside the actual vent there was so much lint nothing would dry, and the house filled up with steam. Not to mention that it is a fire hazard. The add is misleading in the statement that it has a "Hot Tub" It doesn't. There is a jacuzzi tub in one bathroom. One of the downstairs showers was clogged and the property manager told us that he couldn't get a plumber out until after our stay ended. One bedroom upstairs had sharpie writing on the wall and the bathroom across from that bedroom had toothpaste smeared on the vanity cabinets. were many light bulbs out and nothing to replace them with. We had counted on using the BBQ but it was filthy and broken down. No need to clean it, they need to replace it! Every closet filled with old broken games ETC. Never found more than 6 bath towels. Renter Beware.

Big house but filthy

Pros:The place was ring and spacious. It could have easily fit 14 people comfortably. Cons: when we got to the house, we had no way of entering because whole staircase were COMPLETELY covered in thick inches of ice. It was so dangerous. We were slipping and sliding and holding on to dear life trying to bring our young boys inside the house. We informed the property manager how dangerous the stairs were. We asked if they could have someone clear it out tomorrow morning since we had more families with young babies who were coming the next day. Well, no one cleared it out. Instead, the housekeeper left salt in front of our door so we had to clear it out ourselves. We opened the coffee maker and there was left over grinds and mold. I felt so disgusted. It was obvious that the cleaners haven’t cleaned the coffee maker in months. The dishwasher when we got there was disgustingly filthy and had black stuff inside. The fridge was completely shut off. We had to call the property manager because and he told us that they turn off the fridge to save energy. There were missing knobs in the kitchen, sticky and filthy cabinet drawers. Really dirty plates and utensils. The bedding were very outdated. It felt cheap, very scratchy and uncomfortable to sleep in. This place has so much potential but it is very obvious that they need to hire a new cleaning crew + a maintenance crew.

In need of some serious TLC

This is a beautiful home that needs a lot of love on top of not being very clean at all there was mold in the bathrooms. The floors encounters were filthy. I was told there was a propane barbecue there so we bought all kinds of stuff to barbecue. The barbecue is horrible. You can’t even get it to light. Half of the TVs don’t work. There was no dish soap to even wash dishes or dish towels. I’ll have to say I was very disappointed with this stay for what they charge you to stay there and the cleaning fee at least the place could be clean when you get there.

Great Stay

There were a few things that needed attention! The dryer did not work properly! The family room bathroom flooded the seal underneath the toilet leaked had to shut valve off to stop leaking! Could not use bathroom afterwards! The dump site for garbage was closed Thanksgiving weekend! Had to use an another dump site further away. The heater worked, but would heat some rooms too hot and others not enough! The shopping stores were great all the mom and pop stores were excellent! Overall our stay was great will do it again next year, but stay by big bear lake!

Great amenities in the house - heating was super efficient (Its winter!). Everything in working condition, no problems with any electrical appliances. Pool table kept us entertained. Fireplace kept the house cozy. The house was very convenient for skiing areas as well as Big Bear play for the little ones. loved the views, Loved the house. Felt / looked after in all respects.

Good but not so good

The property was huge and grand, perfect for our group of 5 families. The kids loved the place and so we did enjoy. However there were a couple of not so good things. 1. We stayed for the long weekend recently. When we checked in there was a notice at the door that the owner missed water payment and so got disconnected. We didnt have water for a great 4 hrs. The owner got to the property to fix the issue and luckily by almost midnight water was back. He gave us a crate of sparkling water to as an apology for the inconvenience. But upon checking the cans were expired. 😩 good thing no one drank it. 2. Internet was very bad. Like we didnt connect bec it was very lowtech and slow. 3. Coffeemaker, there was a load of groundcoffee in the pot that was full of molds! It was bad. :( we threw it out and just cleaned everything with vinegar and hot water. 4. Blender, the spout was not cleaned well that when we opened it there were a lot of green leafy stuff in it. :( good thing no one suffered diarrhea after that. Other than that, our experience there was good. It was the only placed who accepted a big group around the area. The rooms were spacious and had enough linen and pillows and towels for everyone. We cleaned everything before we left so I bet the cleaning person wont have to clean as much. Thank you! Hope this is helpful.

Great big house, needs some TLC

The property is good for a big group, we had 18 people. The bed distribution could be better so no one has to sleep in a staircase landing or a common area. The house needs a bit of TLC, the coffee machine was cracked, who doesn't need coffee??? The extra pillows and blankets should be washed thoroughly or tossed if stains can't be cleaned. Unlike other properties we've stayed at they did not have board games, they do have a nice pool table and foosball table but if bring your own games if you want more than that. The house as a whole is gorgeous, with nice views, a nice lot, huge island/peninsula in the kitchen which makes feeding a big group perfect.

Great family Christmas gathering

I booked this property before reading any reviews. When the event was the following week, I happened to read the reviews and was a little worried. The bad reviews were ridiculous and nit picky. The property was clean. The stove worked, the were pool sticks that were not broken. The curtains were not falling off the rods etc! The property was cozy and warm and had all the proper equipment supplied including lots of soap. I had purchased all these thing s before going and found that I did not need any items I brought along. There were plenty of pots and pans in good condition and all the amenities needed for cooking. The teens went snow boarding and had a blast!! It also had a very peaceful atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful time!!

Neglected interior & Un clean

The house is beautiful & spacious, however It was very disappointing, my family & I felt very disrespected & upset by the fact that the house was very dirty,Owner fees for cleaning are high, & doesn’t reflect on the condition we found the house. Some examples: microwave was dirty w/crumbs inside,stove was dirty & had built up stuff on bottom door up most kitchen pots & pans should be thrown away they are really bad! Trash can was dirty & only 1 trash bag available Grill has broken knobs & so old it doesn’t cook food evenly 1 bedroom had a dirty towel & Covid mask left on the floor,1 bedroom had hole on the wall & broken blinds, leaving room had end tables with dust like nobody had clean in a while,& dingy curtains 1 bedroom had broken bed leg. Beds had dirty blankets. 2 bedrooms had Closets with piles of blankets on the ground! We had to disinfect everything we could to feel safe We had to drive 20 min to take our trash per owner’s contract. Contract is too strict for renters, I was expecting high quality family time instead it turned to be a disappointment!! The pool table Q sticks had broken tips couldn’t even play. 1 bar stool had the top cushion seat unattached It blows my mind how this can be okay with owner or does the owner even know the condition in which the house is being rented ? Air conditioning didn’t work thermostat is so old we couldn’t make it work even after googling the model I called owner & had to leave message, he never call me back . I wanted to give him the feed back on the phone, if he is paying some one for cleaning or upkeep it isn’t happening & he should inspect. We paid too much money to had spent our time in this neglected home.

Big and beautiful but needs work.

The location is beautiful and the space in the house is great but there are too many small details that are overlooked either by the owner and or the cleaning service that add up. The review posted before about certain items needing repair are still the same, just wish they would have been taken care of before the next renter which was probably our group.

Nice place but needs some TLC and inaccurate listing

We stayed here for the weekend with some friends. This place is large and has plenty of room. One thing that was very upsetting was the listing stated Jacuzzi, which we all were looking forward to. Yet when we arrived, no jacuzzi. We questioned this to the property manager and his response was one was in each master bathroom. Um no, those are jet tubs in bathrooms, not jacuzzi. I sent him the definition of each and he stated he did not know there was a difference, really?!? So no jacuzzi or spa. Plus neither one of the tubs jets turned on. They did not work even confirming with the property manager they did before booking. Next, the pool sticks tips are broke so we had to play with a short stick. The foosball table is broke. There were cobwebs everywhere, in the shower, kitchen, stairs, front door. They are selling the house so it seems like it has just been put onto the back burner. The kitchen has tons of dust on the ceiling and upper cabinets and the microwave was not reinstalled above the stove with the exhaust fan. So they just put out a small microwave on the counter for you. They lock the pantry so you have no where to put food except the countertop. The fireplaces did work and it did have a lot of room. But for a 1.5 million dollar home, we just expected more. Also, the wifi is horrible and band width sucks with more then 3 people on it. They need to add more in the kitchen with wine openers and cooking utensils. I gave it 2 stars because of the misleading listing saying they had a jacuzzi, jet tubes not working in either bathtub, hole in the drywall, cleanliness, horrible wifi, lack of kitchen space for food, crappy curtains and rods falling off the wall, games items being broken, no salt for stairs or sidewalks, really bad couches with holes and pleather coming apart, etc. The good items is it has a cabin feel, a lot of room, good heating system, nice area and neighborhood, enough bathrooms to bedroom ratio, nice decks, nice overall look. It needs a lot of TLC, but since they are selling it, I am sure they really don't care.
